Even though the neversetting sun prevents the stars from being seen with a naked eye,
they influence the world in subtle ways. For a fee, an astrologer located somewhere
in the Central Castle can tell you what the current constellation is, or make you
a personal horoscope.

The Midnight Sun Astrology System

Signs

The stars rotate through a cycle of 16 signs, each of them corresponding to one of the gods of the pantheon:

The most important relationship exists between signs that lie on opposite sides of the cycle.
The two opposing signs form a so-called axis and influence similar areas or aspects of the universe:

Axis of Mystery

Eye (Tharizdun)
Stag (Selune)

mystery, void, darkness, hidden things

Axis of Instinct

Hunter (Malar)
Lady (Freja)

senses, acuteness, sexuality, lust

Axis of Growth

Waterfall (Istishia)
Unicorn (Mielikki)

nature, life cycle, pregnancy

Axis of Renewal

Chalice (Lathander)
Oak (Silvanus)

birth, life, preservation, healing

Axis of Balance

Scales (Torm)
Skull (Bhaal)

cause and effect, truth, justice, realization

Axis of Seeing

Tower (Mystra)
Eagle (Crom)

foresight, future, learning, arts, ambition

Axis of Struggle

Spider (Lolth)
Sword (Tempus)

fight, survival, tests, trials, natural selection

Axis of Destruction

Hand (Hades)
Thunderbolt (Talos)

death, finality, destruction, ending

There are also other, less important relationships between the signs, for example the
Stag, the Lady and the Unicorn are generally known as the "Three Ladies"
(being ruled by Selune, Freja and Mielikki respectively). The whole circle encompasses
a symbolic reflection of two life cycles.

Aspects

These signs are further complemented by 5 aspects, each of them under the influence
of one of the so-called "wandering stars". Little is known about the true
nature of these stars, except for the fact that they follow their own cycle, different
from that of the signs. Each of the five stars corresponds to one of the major deities.

Albaluz

Morning Star

This bright white star is associated with Lathander.

Silidor

Sparkle

Silvanus rules this constantly twinkling, sparkling star.

Calamor

Blood Star

This star glows with a blood red hue and is associated with Tempus.

Mandivone

Dread Star

A sinister, strangely foreboding star that has been associated with Hades.
